In hairdressers shops it is usual to press a vessel to the customers neck from backwards when shampooing in oroer to prevent the shampooing liquid from flowing down the customers back.

The task of holding the vessel by hand occupies one hand of the attendant so that he has only one hand free for doing his work. Or, alternatively, another person is needed for holding the vessel.

It has already been proposed to place a vessel-stand to the back of the customers chair for holding the shampooing vessel, such stand however constitutes a separate piece of furniture and occupies a separate floor space when not in use.

The present invention has for its object to provide a metal ring pivotally attached to the upper end of a bar adjustably guided in a vertical sleeve fixed to the back of the hairdressers chair and capable of being secured therein, the said ring at a point opposite to the said pivot being also pivoted to a slightly curved flat metal bar, provided at its lower end with saw teeth and guided between the two branches of a fork or stirrup, protruding from a. cross bar mounted on the rear legs of the chair, the saw teeth of the said curved bar being adapted to be coupled with a cross rod connecting the ends of the two branches of the fork.

In the accompanying drawing one form of the appliance according to the invention is shown by way of example.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hairdressers chair provided with the vessel holder according to the invention, the same being in its inoperative (lowered) position.

Fig. 2 is the same view, the vessel holder being shown in its operative (horizontal position.

Fig. 3 shows the vessel holder according to the invention in actual use.

The fixture t secured to the back of the hairdressers chair is provided at its center portion with a vertical sleeve. Guided in the said sleeve is a bar 1" which may be readily adjusted according to the customers height and may be secured in its adjusted position by means of the screw 0.

Pivoted to the upper end of the bar 7" there is a metal ring 9 which bears, at a point diametra-lly opposite to the said pivotal point a slightly curved flat metal bar fpivotally attached to the said ring 9. The lower end of the bar f is provided with saw teeth and is guided between the two shafts of a backwardly protruding stirrup is fastened to the center of cross bar 10. The teeth of the bar 7 may be coupled with a cross bar extending between the outer ends of the two shafts of the stirrup.

The ring 9 may be lifted with respect to the vertically adjustable and securable bar 9", from its vertical position shown in Fig. 1 into the horizontal position shown in Fig. 2. When lifted into this position, the bar f firmly supports the ring 9 through its teeth being coupled with the cross bar of the stirrup is and thus holds the vessel m, the two wings s of which are applied to the customers neck (Fig. 3).

The vessel m is more securely held under the influence of the hook h, which is pivotally attached to that point of the ring 9 bearing the bar 7. The hook it may be coupled with the vessel m held in the ring 9 by its rimthrough simply turning it over the edge of the vessel (Fig.

The outfit is completed by the water supply pipe '0 and the drainage pipe Z.

A. further sleeve may be arranged at each end of the fixture t in which other hairdressers appliances, as for instance a hair drier or the like may be secured.
